Re: [amibroker] ApplyStop(stopTypeTrailing, stopModeRisk,8,1,False );

[James Hutchison <phutch@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The ApplyStop  function seems to be equivelent but i still dont know
the logic for this function

ApplyStop
(stopTypeTrailing,
stopModeRisk,
8, 1
,False ); 
ApplyStop
 (stopTypeTrailing,
3
,
8
,
1
 ,False ); 

ApplyStop( type, mode, amount, exitatstop, volatile =
False, ReEntryDelay = 0 ) 
RETURNS nothing 
FUNCTION controls built-in stops from the formula level (allows
optimization of stops) 

Parameters: 

type =
0 = stopTypeLoss - maximum loss stop,
1 = stopTypeProfit - profit target stop,
2 = stopTypeTrailing - trailing stop,
3 = stopTypeNBar - N-bar stop 

mode = 
0 - disable stop (stopModeDisable),
1 - amount in percent (stopModePercent), or number of bars for N-bar stop
(stopModeBars),
2 - amount in points (stopModePoint);
3 - amount in percent of profit (risk) 

amount = 
percent/point loss/profit trigger/risk amount.
This could be a number (static stop level) or an array (dynamic stop
level) 


ExitAtStop

ExitAtStop = 0 - means check stops using only trade price and exit at
regular trade price
(if you are trading on close it means that only close price will be
checked for exits and exit will be done at close price)
ExitAtStop = 1 - check High-Low prices and exit intraday on price equal
to stop level on the same bar when stop was triggered
ExitAtStop = 2 - check High-Low prices but exit NEXT BAR on regular trade
price.

Thank you

Could anybody explain how  ApplyStop (stopTypeTrailing, stopModeRisk, 8, 1 ,False ); works on end of day data.

I am not sure how this type of stop is evaluated by Amibroker.

Thank you for your help.
